There he honed his skills, while playing for the
Edison Jets, and then, Somerville United under the tutelage of Rutgers football
all-time great wide receiver Mohamed Sanu.

Haskins visited Rutgers two weeks ago, accompanied by
his parents, and shared his impressions with NJ.com.

"It went good, coach (Kyle) Flood, my parents and I had a
conversation," said Haskins, who Rutgers offered in April. "I enjoyed coming
back to Piscataway. It was definitely déjà vu walking around. I can remember
walking around Rutgers as a little kid."

According to Haskins, Flood believes his skill-set is a good
fit for the Big Ten football conference.

"Coach Flood told me that regardless of where I go, I'm
gonna be a good player," said Haskins. "But Rutgers is definitely close to home
for me. And he said with my skills, I should be able to do big things in the
Big Ten."

Haskins has always had a high opinion of Rutgers football, a
program he grew up paying close attention to. But now, he gets to assess the
program from the perspective of a big-time recruit.

"I feel good about Rutgers," he said. "It's my home school. My
family in New Jersey can come watch me play. It's a great business school and I
definitely want to study business or broadcast journalism."

Haskins says he'll give consideration to all his suitors,
and they are all even in the race for his services.

"No schools stand out," he said. "I'm interested in all of the
opportunities that I have at a variety of places. I'm definitely interested to
see what each has to offer."

He also claims not to have any location or conference
preferences.

"I don't know where I want to go, "he said. "But I want to
make sure wherever I go, I'm comfortable and my parents are happy with my
decision."

Haskins holds upwards of 20 BCS offers -- including tenders from Florida, Florida State, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Clemson -- but has only visited
Maryland and Rutgers, so far.

However, he plans to visit Ohio State in June, Florida and
Florida State in July, and Clemson, Wake Forest, Boston College and West Virginia,
at some point during the summer.

He has yet to set a decision date, but says he'd like to
make his pick prior to his senior year of high school.

"I definitely want to commit before senior year to get that
stress lifted off of me," he said.

Academics, comfort level with the coaching staff and an opportunity
for early playing time are three of Haskins' main concerns in his collegiate hunt.

"I'm making sure that academics are where they need to be,"
he said. "I know all schools say that you are gonna get your education. But is
that degree gonna hold weight in the real world? But I'm gonna make sure that
football is also good, and that I feel comfortable with the staff and I have a
chance of playing early."
